Alternative Medicine

A word of caution as you visit these sites: be skeptical but open-minded. Look to see if any of the claims made there are backed by scientific evidence derived from the scientific process. If you do not find such evidence, it does not mean that the claims are inaccurate, however, you may wish to follow-up with further investigation on your own.
